Antique Chinese furniture and décor, featuring lanterns and birdcages, hint at a scene from bygone Hong Kong
Hutong serves contemporary northern Chinese in a serene setting for some of the best views of bustling Victoria Harbour. The antique Chinese furniture and décor, featuring lanterns and birdcages, hint at a scene from a bygone Hong Kong.

WHO TO BRING View lovers and romantics.
TURN-ONS Intent on sampling their dim sum menu, we tried each of Hutong’s dinner-time dumpling dishes. Our favourite was the lamb and leek dumplings (HK$118). With each broth-filled bite, we further lamented that the dish had not been adopted by more dim sum restaurants in Hong Kong. We also tried the poached wonton served with garlic and chilli sauce (HK$118), and pork and fennel dumplings with plum dipping sauce (HK$118). The fennel seeds added an aromatic edge to the latter. Tucking into Hutong’s steamed buns, we tried the ginger lobster bao with spring onion (HK$148 for three pieces) and the traditional Beijing-style steamed pork buns (HK$128 for four). Like the pork and fennel dumplings, the pork buns were subtly flavoured with herbs.
